Once there was
an old farmer who had three sons. They always quarreled with one another. One
day the old farmer called his sons to bring some sticks and tied them in a
bundle. He told them to break the bundle. They tried but could not break the
bundle of the sticks. Then he told them to untie the bundle and gave a stick to
sons and asked them to break it. Then all of them broke the stick easily. The
farmer told them that if they would remain separate and quarrel with one
another, the enemy would easily defeat them. But if they remained united like
the bundle, they would be stronger and the enemy could not do any harm to them.
